V-speeds for rotation ref manual
-
Hi!
In the manual at page 13 under the section "V-speeds" it states that the rotation speed with flaps extended is 108kias and with flaps retracted 102kias.Why is the rotation-speed higher when flaps are extended?
Vr 108 kts* (Rotation Speed, Flaps Extended) MGTOW - See table for more weights
Vr 102 kts (Rotation Speed, Flaps Retracted) *MGTOW - See table for more weights -
I recall fixing this, so you must have an old version of the manual.

Do you have revision-numbers for the manual? I used the link in section for the Starship at Justflight website
"Black Square - Starship User Guide (2025)"
@Torcsen I used to put the version in the file name, but I was politely asked to stop doing this because it didn't play nice with the installer/updater for some reason. Looking at the end of the contents for the changelog, or the changelog itself, should tell you if it's up to date. It appears that Starship's manual has never been updated on the website. I was under the impression that this would be done at the same time as release. My apologies. I'll see that everything is updated soon. In the meantime, you can always find the latest manuals packaged with your aircraft, assuming you have a non-marketplace version of the aircraft.
